Scientists may have just taken a major step toward reversing Alzheimer's disease, at least in mice. A new study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West ...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is meant to protect the brain from noxious agents; however, it also significantly hinders the delivery of therapeutics to the brain. Several strategies have been employed ...

Researchers used supramolecular nanoparticles to repair the brain’s vascular system and reverse Alzheimer’s in mice. Instead of carrying drugs, the nanoparticles themselves triggered natural clearance ...

Living with a brain disorder often means relying on medication that does not work for everyone and, in some cases, surgery. EU-funded researchers are now investigating whether nanotechnology could one ...

Nanotechnology today revolutionizes industries with diverse applications—from medicine and electronics to energy and environmental solutions—shaping a smarter, more sustainable future. Pixabay, ...

Nanomedicine. 2012;7(8):1225-1233. Most of the strategies described for the passage of drugs across the BBB can be enhanced by nanotechnology and some of the mechanisms involved include: NPs open the ...
